I got a bunch of requests to comment on a new attempt at a theory of everything that supposedly combines quantum physics with general relativity. I had a look, and this is a quick comment. First reaction, basically. Didn’t get far in the paper, as you will see. I am sorry in case I appear unkind, but this kind of stuff really pisses me off.

A brief explanation of how superfluid dark matter can combine fluid dark matter and modified gravity.

For galaxy clusters and for the cosmic microwave background, dark matter matter is the better explanation. But to explain galactic rotation curves and other properties of galaxies, modified gravity is the better explanation.

The Impact of Genomic Variation on Function Consortium is combining single-cell mapping, genomic perturbations and predictive modelling to investigate relationships between human genomic variation, genome function and phenotypes and will provide an open resource to the community.

While it has been suggested that low-energy experiments might allow to find evidence for quantization of gravity, direct detection of single gravitons has normally been considered a hopeless task. Here, the authors suggest that a massive body cooled to the ground state in a gravitational wave background should display detectable stimulated single gravitonions.

Releasing engineered nanoparticles into the Martian atmosphere could warm the planet by over 30 K.
